Tyson Fury was mocked for ‘running away’ from an undisputed heavyweight clash with Oleksandr Usyk by the latter’s manager.
The WBC champ has been trying to solicit Anthony Joshua against him in a long-awaited British bout over the past few days.
Anger posted a series of videos on Twitter on Thursday, in which he continued to call Joshua.
And Ukraine’s manager Egis Klimas has since taken to social media to mock ‘The Gypsy King’, with the 34-year-old seemingly more eager to fight Joshua than Usyk.
This is a great way to run from Usyk @usykaa Called the others but didn’t answer Usyk. JOKE! https://t.co/JImv3U0d3q

Joshua gets hit by UsykThe male tennis player was the undisputed champion in cruiser before moving to heavyweight three years ago, at the Jeddah Superdome in Saudi Arabia last month in their rematch.
It seems that Fury will pursue an undisputed clash against Usykbut after he asked to sit out until after Christmas to ensure full fitness, Fury turns his attention to fellow countryman Brit.
Klimas wrote on Twitter:
“This is a great way to get away from Usyk.
“Called the others but Usyk didn’t answer. JOKE!”
Fury had previously demanded a £500m fee to face Usykwhile Queensberry’s Frank Warren and Top Rank’s Bob Arum revealed that the fight will take place before the end of the year.
But Usyk wanted to wait and Eddie Hearn, Joshua’s promoter, who has looked after the 32-year-old throughout his professional career, accept an initial 60-40 offer from Fury for a fight before the end of the year.
Fury then gave Joshua an ultimatum and his team for the fight to take place later this year, saying that if no options are presented Joshua simply doesn’t want the fight.
